In the spirit of Jeff Atwood’s Meta is Murder, I’ve generally been avoiding meta-blogging here. Not that I’m generating a stream of the most deepest, insightful posts, but hey it’s my site.
However, allow an indulgence.
Recently I hit a couple of century marks in my posting. First, in March, April, and May of 2010, I posted a total of 100 times. That beats my previous best three month total of 96 from September, August, and July of 2009.
Second, I’m currently on a streak of 107 straight days of posting. I hit 100 straight on June 6th and have been trucking along ever since. There have been a couple of close calls and challenges, mostly related to long days at work, late night post-work social functions, and long distance work related travel. Did I thoroughly blame work? Posting desperation only really crept in one time, but I beat midnight with five minutes or so to spare. And only one post felt like it was mailed in. Otherwise, I’ve felt like I’ve made a good honest effort to provide some value or entertainment with a basis in the myriad of things that I’m working on or interest me on a daily basis. I’ll probably take a break soon though.
One thing the streak has done is bring some clarity to this blog’s themes. Clearly, I’m not close to what I long ago wrote in the About page. The #1 topic has to be a trailing edge geek’s quest for a new smartphone. Then it’s equal parts, post-disco dance/electronic music, Apple nuggets, sports observations, and a skoosh of science fiction. Mmmmm, fantasy football’s only 3 months away!
Some stuff I need to get back to? Working on a sideline programming project. Reading more books. And expanding my library of DnB mixes.
No plans to do comments, as I still can’t stand them. But Annals of the Disco Diaspora might get some more play. I’m having fun digging into my mental history of 80’s and 90’s dance music.
